What's on the line?

There is nothing on the line today! Instead.......it's "what's on the floor today?"...........

I mentioned I was making bedroom drapes and they are almost done!  That's me, covered with a drapery panel instead of a quilt. I thought that since it is Labor Day weekend here in the U.S. that I would share a picture of me "laboring/working". And this was definitely work! They are lined drapes and it's that room-darkening lining and it is heavy! I ended up with quite a backache as I maneuvered that stuff around on my sewing machine. I much prefer hand-sewing and was very relaxed as I sewed the folded ends to the lining.

When I finished that, my husband inserted all the pleater hooks, then hung the drapes and now I just need to hem them. I seem to recall reading somewhere that they should hang for a day or so before you hem them. I figure overnight is good enough, so I'll pin them and get them hemmed before the afternoon is over. I am almost to the finish line and when they are done, I'll be racing to the basement to get that little chair that I want to paint. I'm ready to decorate for fall and need to get that chair done so I can get my front porch ready for pumpkins and all sorts of fall things. The weather has been cool and comfy this past weekend. You can almost smell fall in the air! Hope you all are enjoying a nice weekend.
Back soon!

Oh, and there will be something on the line next Monday! and I'll also share a picture of the finished drapes. :-)
